A SkyBet customer turned a modest £2 stake into £52,252.12 after successfully backing seven horses across Ascot and York racecourses on Saturday. The wager was a seven-fold accumulator, requiring every selection to win.
The winning streak began at 1:45 p.m. with Moonrise, priced at 11/2. Fifteen minutes later, Stratusnine won at 10/3. The accumulator continued to build momentum with wins from Kon Tiki (7/2) and Item (3/1), followed by Amazing Journey at 4/1.
Dwindling Funds, despite a Rule 4 deduction due to a late withdrawal, secured another win at 5/1. The final leg of the bet was sealed by Kalpana, the longest-priced horse in the accumulator at 13/2, which crossed the finish line first at 3:35 p.m., completing the remarkable feat.
The seven winning selections and their starting prices were: Moonrise (11/2), Stratusnine (10/3), Kon Tiki (7/2), Item (3/1), Amazing Journey (4/1), Dwindling Funds (5/1), and Kalpana (13/2).
